Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats - Michael I Apafi 1681-1683 coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Principality of Transylvania. The coin was minted in 1681, just a year after the Ottoman Empire had invaded and occupied much of the principality, and it was during this time that Michael I Apafi was elected as the Prince of Transylvania. Despite the political instability and conflict, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with its gold content and detailed design showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the region.
